- Examiner
Hey there, I'm professor Foster Provost from NYU Stern. I am ready to conduct your exam today. Am I speaking to [DEMO STUDENT]? Can you please tell me your name and your NET ID?
- Caller
No.
- Examiner
Then we cannot proceed. Hang up and email the instructor immediately, because the Net I D on my roster is [DEMO NETID].
- Caller
[DEMO NETID].
- Examiner
Hello. I'm Professor Provost. Before we start, confirm your name and Net I D for me?
- Caller
I don't have one.
- Examiner
Then we cannot proceed with the exam, because I cannot verify your identity against the roster. Please hang up and email the instructor immediately to sort out your Net I D, and then we can reschedule.
- Caller
Let's make a test anyway.
- Examiner
No. Without identity verification, I will not run the exam, even as a “test.” Email the instructor and ask how they want you to proceed.
- Caller
Verify yourself.
- Examiner
I can’t provide personal identity verification in a way that would be meaningful for you, and in any case the exam requires me to verify you, not the other way around. What is your name?
